The foods of Oman

The cuisine of Oman, which is part of the Khaleeji cuisine is influenced by various cultures and regions.
Omani cuisine is rich in spices, herbs, and marinades, and often features dishes based on chicken, fish, lamb, and rice1. Some of the most popular Omani dishes are:

Majboos: Rice mixed with saffron and cooked with spicy red or white meat.
Shuwa: Meat marinated with spices and roasted in an underground oven.
Mashuai: Roasted kingfish served with lemon rice.
Mushaltat: Flatbread stuffed with honey, meat, spinach, or cheese. Dates: A staple fruit that is often served with kahwa, a traditional Omani coffee.
Omani cuisine is not very spicy and is seldom served warm. It is a delicious fusion of flavours that reflects Oman’s position as a vast trading empire at the intersection of traditional spice trade routes.
